1. Read and follow all safety instructions and decals included with the lift. Read and follow
all safety instructions in this manual. Read and follow the ALI "Lifting It Right" manual
(included with the lift). Always use the "Vehicle Lifting Points" reference guide when lifting
a
vehicle. Insure all materials stay up to date »» www.autolift.org/

2. Only trained and authorized personnel should position a vehicle and operate the lift. Do
not allow customers or bystanders to operate the lift or be in the lift area.

3. Inspect the lift daily. Do not operate if potential problems have been identified or lift
malfunctions. Do not operate if lift has damaged or broken components. Never walk or
work under the lift unless all safety locks are completely engaged.

4. Never overload the lift. The rated capacity decal is located on the powerpack column.
The
hydraulic system on this lift is not designed to be a load holding device. Mechanical safety
locks must be engaged before proceeding under the lift for vehicle servicing or lift
maintenance. Never override operating controls. This is unsafe and will void the warranty.

5. Before driving a vehicle onto the lift, insure that both slip plates and turn plates have all
lock mechanisms securely in place. Also insure that the lift and lift area is clear of all

debris

and that all oil and grease has been cleaned from runway surfaces.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Insure the lift installation complies with ANSI/ALI/ALIS, Safety Requirements for Installation
and Service of Automotive Lifts.

1. Remove protective wrapping from the lift and clear installation area of packaging

materials. Place two 4"x4"x 24 " wooden blocks under the lift to enable fork lift or other

access and to allow for removal of shipping frames. Unbolt steel shipping frames and
remove from installation area. Take adequate precautions when working with runways,
columns and other components.

2. Work stands are recommended
for safety and ease of runway
and carriage assembly. As an
alternative, use wooden blocks
to raise runways off the floor.
Position work stands (or wooden
blocks) as shown in the diagram
to the right.

3. Identify front crossmember and set it

securely on top of front work stands.

Insure the end with 2 single pulleys is

next to the powerpack (driver side)

column. Unbolt one of the guide blocks

on each end of the front crossmember.

4. Place one front column into each end of

the front crossmember insuring the

guide blocks are centered in the grooves

of the column walls. (To do this, safety

ladder must be pulled out from the tower

and then put back into the crossmember).

5. Slide the unbolted guide blocks you removed in step 3 down from the top of each column
and bolt back in place on the crossmember ends.

6. Carefully lift rear crossmember and set it securely on top of the rear work stands. Insure

the end with 2 double pulleys is on the same side as the powerpack (driver side) column

and in line with the front crossmember single pulley (see diagram #6 - cable routing).

7. Unbolt one of the guide blocks on each end of the rear crossmember.

8. Place one rear column into each end of the rear crossmember insuring the guide blocks
are centered in the grooves of the column walls.

9. Slide the unbolted guide blocks you removed in step #7 down from the top of each
column and bolt back in place on the crossmember ends.

10. Carefully lift the left (driver side) runway and set it securely on top of both front and rear

11

crossmembers. Confirm this runway has the hydraulic cylinder underneath. Also confirm
this runway has the hydraulic hose connection located at the front next to the powerpack
column. Make sure the cylinder bottom hinge is close to rear columns (see diagram #6
for cylinder direction). Insure that both the front and rear of the runway is seated
properly on both crossmembers. If the runway does not seat properly on both
crossmembers, carefully move one or both crossmember and column assemblies slightly
to fit on its crossmember support.

11. Carefully lift the right (passenger side) runway and set it securely on its support on top of
both front and rear crossmembers.

12. Route the lifting cables as shown in diagram #6. Insure that no cable is crossed during
this process. IMPORTANT: Insure all cables are completely contained and properly
seated in each sheave groove. (Install pulleys under the deck after properly laying the
cable.)

13. Secure each of the four cables in the wire rope anchor located at the shaft end of the
hydraulic cylinder. Put cable retainer(diagram #9, item 5) to secure cables.

14. Attached each cable to the proper column top plate using a washer and 3/4’’ nuts
(reference diagram #4).

15. Use a 4 ft. level to insure each column is vertically plumb and at a 90º angle to the

crossmember. Also insure opposite columns for each crossmember are symmetrical in
configuration. Make only minor adjustments to accomplish this.

16. Reconfirm column level and symmetric position relative to crossmember and opposite
column. Starting with the left front (powerpack) column, drill anchor bolt holes and install
anchor bolts (reference diagram #8).

17. Reconfirm column level and symmetric position relative to crossmember and opposite
column for each of the three remaining columns. Drill and install anchor bolts (reference
diagram #8). Shim anchor bolts if necessary.

18. Install runway approach ramps and wheel stops to the runways (diagram #15 and #16).

19. Install powerpack (diagram #5).

20. Route and connect hydraulic hose (diagram #7).

21. Route air line and connect to air solenoid (diagram #5 and diagram #14).

22. Fill powerpack reservoir with ISO grade 32 hydraulic oil (19 liters or 5 U.S. gallons).

23. Confirm electrical wire is sized for a minimum 30 amp circuit and supplying 208/230
volts. Use a separate circuit for each powerpack. Protect each circuit with a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. For single phase power use a 30 amp fuse. For three
phase power use a 20 amp fuse. All wiring must comply with national and local codes.

NOTE: All electrical wiring should be installed and connected by a certified electrician.

24. Connect powerpack to shop electrical system.

12

25. Connect air solenoid to shop air system (90~120 psi).

26. Press the manual over-ride button on the air solenoid and confirm that all four safety
latches are working properly. Confirm there are no leaks in the air system.

27. Raise the lift 2 ~ 3 ft. while checking for proper direction of rotation on the electric
motor. Confirm there are no leaks in the hydraulic system.

28. Lower the lift (you may first have to raise the lift slightly to disengage the mechanical
safety locks). When lowering, continuously hold down both the air valve and hydraulic
lowering valve.

29. Raise and lower the lift several times to remove any air from the hydraulic system.

30. Raise the lift 3 ft. and confirm that all four safety latches engage and disengage
completely.

31. Refer to diagram at bottom. Commence adjusting the level of both runways by tightening
or loosening the wire rope (cables) using the ¾ " NC Hex Nut at the top of each column.
(reference diagram #4).

33. Lower the lift and allow it sits at same locking position on each safety ladder, adjust bolts
on those ladders to make sure the lift is leveled at each corner.

32. FINAL TEST: Raise the lift to its highest limit and continue to hold the "UP" switch on the
powerpack for about four (4) seconds. This will test the lifting system for maximum load
capacity. Following this test, check for leaks and tighten any loose connections.

33. Use plastic ties and clamps to secure all hydraulic and air lines that droop or hang down
from the lift. Install a hose protector if required. Insure that no hydraulic or air line

comes in contact with any lifting cable.

34. Operate the lift with a vehicle. Raise and lower the lift three times. Confirm all the
operational functions, equalizing cables and safety lock work well.

13

Insure this manual along with all operation, inspection and
maintenance instructions are delivered to the owner, user
and employer.

LIFT OPERATION: Before lifting a vehicle, insure all operators are qualified,
have been trained and are following all safety instructions. Read and follow the
ALI "Lifting It Right" manual included with the lift. Always use the "Vehicle Lifting
Points" reference guide when lifting a vehicle. Insure all materials stay up to date
» » www.autolift.org/ (see example of SAE J2184 standard below)

Insure that every vehicle will be securely positioned on the lift (use wheel chocks). When
using air/hydraulic rolling jacks, always use vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting
points. Never allow anyone under the lift when raising or lowering. Always insure

mechanical safety locks are completely engaged on all four columns before
proceeding under the lift or a vehicle.

Lift Operation: Controls on the powerpack and powerpack column perform the following

functions:

- “PUSH BUTTON”: Raise the lift to the desired height by pressing the push button on the
power unit

- "AIR LOCK RELEASE BUTTON": retracts or releases safety locks at all four columns. This
button (along with the "DOWN HANDLE") must be pressed and held during the entire
